Queen "B" BBTB Challenge

Monday is definitely my favorite blogging day because I get to post my Bitten by the Bug DT challenge card and see what all of my teammates have come up with. Such Anticipation!

Click HERE immediately if you can't stand it! LOL Regina chose a monogram card using the letter B (or b) from the Alphalicious cartridge. (Thanks Leah for letting me borrow it!) and of course because Leah's Cricut mb name is BeeCherryLady I thought it would be fitting to incorporate bees.

I made a shaped card in Design Studio using the shadow of the shorty "B" and the bee and daisy from Walk in my Garden. The crown is also from Alphalicious but added later or you'd have a hard time opening the card since the fold is at the top. I ran it through the Xron and glittered it with MS glitter and bejeweled it with adhesive gems from M's. I cut the flower again on shadow, then regular, then the center. The petals were run through the Cuttlebug using Swiss dots and the center was run through the Xron and flocked with Doodlebug flock. The leaves from Accent Essentials also were added as an afterthought because I thought they balanced the design a bit more and I wanted some green. Queen bee was also cut again on shadow and regular in several layers, the wings cuttled with D'vine Swirls, the stripes jeweled. Her tiny crown is a brad (from?). Of course layers everywhere were popped to their fullest. The little drones buzzing around (and the little caterpiller) are Queen & Co. garden brads. The bees are attached in pairs over a wire for their flight paths. Paper is K & Co Wild Saffron and the card stock is Bazzill.

Good morning Ms. Donna! I have been waiting and waiting for you to post this card (EST you know!) so that I could tell you HOW MUCH I LOVE IT! As I scrolled down BBTB, before I ever saw the name, I LOVED this card and thought of you. Yep, no surprise, this delightful creation was yours!!!!

Donna, you just keep outdoing yourself! How creative is this! You know the first thing I did this morning was run to the BBTB so I could see this, and of course, all of the other wonderful projects by the DT! You ladies are fantastic! There's so much about this card that I like, so suffice it to say, I LOVE IT!

I love your card!!! It's great. I have the Cricut, but I don't have that cartridge, otherwise I would have played along. It's great seeing the designs though. I got mine out the other day to do the Kristina Werner Challenge. I will be checking back to see what other challenges are set.

Susan turned me onto your blog and I am so glad. I love this design and may try to do something similar with a G and J. I do love your layer look. Wish you could share your design skills...you do wonderful work...

Cute, cute, cute and all the little details are perfect! Another wonderful card. I love stopping by your blog and seeing what you come up with, and am never disappointed! Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us!

About Me

I've always loved crafting, even as a little girl. My inspiration was my Daddy who was a wonderful artist and made beautiful 3-D Valentines for my teachers in grade school. Although I love all kinds of crafts I haven't had a real focus since abandoning counted cross stitch back in the 80's. Until I got my Cricut in 2008, that is. I've since expanded my horizons and found a new love in coloring both rubber and digi stamps with my Copics. Now I'm a blissfully retired card maker and papercrafter married 42 (!) years to a wonderful guy with two furbabies, Goliath and Jezebel. Everyday I look forward to dreaming up designs and playing in my craft room. I invite you to share in my adventures.
